So we’re going to just not use one of the best advancements in technology that we’ve had in like so long just because it’s used for nefarious purposes? Wouldn’t it be better to fix those issues for the AI to be controlled by just a small elite of people? What’s the solution for you? Do you think they’re gonna just get rid of AI? I think the Pandora’s box has already been opened. AI is not going away. We should find a way to just use it better. You know?
Back in the day in the Roman Empire, they used a bunch of slaves to build the infrastructure and stuff, like the water systems, you know? And like, later on, those are still valuable and used as a way to just map out the way we do things today. One thing doesn’t necessarily negate the other one. Yes, it can be mass theft, and it can be an advancement at the same time.
I mean you don’t need to go back to Rome to realize modern society has always been capable of stealing other peoples work and selling it… and not calling that “technological advancement.”
So because LLMs steal mathematically doesn’t mean they’re impressive. LLMs existed before the robbers used them to steal.
New ≠ good. It’s a trash tool that enables hacks to pretend they know what they’re doing, it’s a MAJOR security risk, and it’s destroying the environment.
No amount of whatever bullshit you can come up with will outweigh this. It’s trash.
It’s a new tech in its infancy. is hacky Yes, it’s annoying. But the whole point of it is to make people who don’t know what they’re doing actually be more able to, you know, do things outside of their own capabilities. That is a huge improvement. Of course, you do have to have some common sense and some logic to work these tools better. To understand they are not perfect. to understand an AI can make mistakes. But I think overall people will be more productive with AI than without it.
For the security part, I think this will improve over time. For the environment? I wouldn’t be so sure. Still, AI is not gonna go away. You gotta try and take its positives, Because if you don’t, people who use AI will just walk over you. I don’t even think it can work in tech anymore if you don’t use AI.
Let’s assume rat poison does have a pleasant flavor (prob doesn’t)
The comparison doesn’t work, as this rat poison only gives you a tiny sensory benefit before kiiling you, while AI can be used for a lot of good, be it in the medical field, as a better way to look up information online of any kind, a way for non techy people to interact with the internet in an easier way, to provide better voice to text for people with disabilities, basic tech support or help with quicker queries, to generate mockups with image gen etc etc etc
Doesn’t seem to be the same category as “completely harmful but slightly pleasurable right before the end of it all”, and I haven’t googled, I’m sure a ton of other things would show up that are positives of AI as a technology

AI is not “an advancement,” it’s mass theft, LLMs have uses outside of that, but chatbot company executives and boards belong in prison for stealing.

In any case, LLMs are impressive, and useful

Now that you mention it… this rat poison does have a pleasant cherry flavour
